Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Catenaccio]

I would say the Atalanta team has already qualified for the Champions League. The team is now fifth in the table. Atalanta team is 5 points ahead of Roma. The Roma team is not in good form right now. They have lost points in their last three matches. Meanwhile, Atalanta are in very good form. So it is highly unlikely that Atalanta will lose the last two matches and Roma will win both matches.

With 6 point difference and only 2 remaining matches, Atalanta have 99% to appear in Champions League next season and they will try to get it after this weekend. If they succeed with this task this weekend, they will fully prepare for Europa League final match with Leverkusen so no reason to don't play with their best and get only one more point to achieve their target one earlier week.

I think Roma will be happy to qualify for the Europa League. Because Roma has very little chance of surviving in a competitive platform like the Champions League.

I see Roma and Atalanta are similar in quality and it's not true to say Roma will struggle in Champions League while Atalanta will not.

So Roma will fight for the Europa League title next season as well. Moreover, the performance of the team is quite messy at the moment. It is very important to make the team more stable.

Roma will have to win their remaining matches and defend their sixth position against Lazio. After getting some bad results recent matches, now Roma are no longer safely against Lazio with only 1 point difference.

If they successfully secure their position, they will play in Europa League a third season consecutively and I believe they will not feel happy with failure to get a chance to play in Champions League again.

I didn't say that Atalanta has qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League; what I said was that the win Atalanta had against Lecce has given them hope of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League because Juventus is leading them by one point and there are two remaining matches for the Serie A season to end. For a long time, Juventus has been struggling to win their matches in the Serie A, which has put them in this condition, and if they continue with such performances, Atalanta might overtake them in the Serie A table. Juventus next match is against Bologna, and they might likely drop points against Bologna, which will give Atalanta an advantage to enter the top four of the Serie A table if they win their match in Serie A.

I think Atalanta will definitely qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, now they are ranked 5th and for this season there are 5 teams that qualify from Serie A and also Atalnta is 6 points ahead of Roma who is ranked 6th so there is no possibility again for Roma to be able to catch Atalanta.
As for the competition for UEFA Champions League tickets for next season, I think everything is over, there are 5 teams that have confirmed getting these tickets, namely Inter MIlan, AC Milan, Bologna, Juventus, and Atalanta.

Wow! If that is the case, Atalanta has already qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League competition. There is a possibility that Atalanta will still finish in the top four of the Serie A league this season. If Atalanta can win their next match in Serie A, they will enter fourth place in the Serie A table. Either Bologna or Juventus will drop points in their next match because they will play against each other in the league. And if Bologna vs Juventus ends in a draw and Atalanta beats Torino, Atalanta will enter the third position in the Serie A table.

Conte is currently unemployed, but reportedly Juventus management is trying to approach Thiago Motta to become Allegri successor next season.

Thiago Motta? He would also be a nice replacement considering the great work he has done with Bologna so far. Bologna are even likely to finish the season at the third position. They have already secured the Champions League ticket. I'm curious about whether Bologna board have also started contract negotiations with him. 

On the other hand, Juventus management must build better squad depth next season, because to win the Scudetto it is not enough to just change managers. Inter dominance is likely to continue next season, I think Inzhaghi squad will be the main contenders in the race for the Scudetto. Regarding Zidane, it seems that Juventus management is having difficulty recruiting the former Madrid coach, although Zidane emotionally has the desire to return to being part of Juventus.

This is the most immediate thing for Juventus actually. If they had a strong squad I wouldn't have any doubts about Allegri to be competitive for the title. But he had big difficulties because of serious problems.

If we don't see any proper change in Juventus squad this summer then I won't expect big things from the new manager either.

And if Bologna vs Juventus ends in a draw and Atalanta beats Torino, Atalanta will enter the third position in the Serie A table.

Atalanta is indeed in good condition now, but that doesn't mean it can be easy to win against Torino even though the upcoming match will take place at Atalanta's home ground. Moreover, Atalanta is already in the Champions League zone now because in Serie A this season there are five teams that can qualify for the Champions League and two teams for the Europa League and one team for the Conference League. So Atalanta doesn't need to hunt for positions anymore at the end of this season because Roma is also six points behind Atalanta at the moment although it would also be great if Atalanta could get the top three or four positions at the end of this season.

Torino - Milan 3-1 in the 72nd minute of the match.

A match with little incentive from Milan, as they are now certain of second place in the standings, instead Torino can get a conference league qualification for next year if they can overcome Fiorentina. A difficult goal to achieve given that Fiorentina also have a match to make up against Atalanta.

Milan's attack pattern was quite good, Milan's possession of the ball and opportunities in this match were not bad, it's just that there was one problem that Milan couldn't overcome in this match, namely that they were too busy attacking so they forgot about their defense which wasn't very good.

2 goals in the first half started from quick counter attacks and 1 goal at the start of the second half was due to the players' unpreparedness so this became a disaster in the end.
I think a lot of people will lose their bets on this match because after all the odds were very attractive pre-match but the result just wasn't that good.

Torino is smart in seeing gaps in today's match so Milan must be willing to lose their points even though it doesn't have any impact on the Champions League zone because their position remains safe in the top 5 considering how difficult it is for other clubs to catch up.

I would say the Atalanta team has already qualified for the Champions League. The team is now fifth in the table. Atalanta team is 5 points ahead of Roma. The Roma team is not in good form right now. They have lost points in their last three matches. Meanwhile, Atalanta are in very good form. So it is highly unlikely that Atalanta will lose the last two matches and Roma will win both matches.

I think Roma will be happy to qualify for the Europa League. Because Roma has very little chance of surviving in a competitive platform like the Champions League. So Roma will fight for the Europa League title next season as well. Moreover, the performance of the team is quite messy at the moment. It is very important to make the team more stable.

Even if Atalanta loses the remaining games, and Roma wins and they are equal on points (now there are 6 points between them and not 5), then Atalanta will still be in 5th place because according to the Serie A regulations, in case of equality of points, the number of points scored is first taken into account In personal meetings, Atalanta is ahead by this indicator (1 win, 1 draw).
As for getting into the Champions League, this is in any case more profitable than being in the Europa League - there you will get more money than even if you go very far in the Europa League.

Atalanta is indeed in good condition now, but that doesn't mean it can be easy to win against Torino even though the upcoming match will take place at Atalanta's home ground. Moreover, Atalanta is already in the Champions League zone now because in Serie A this season there are five teams that can qualify for the Champions League and two teams for the Europa League and one team for the Conference League. So Atalanta doesn't need to hunt for positions anymore at the end of this season because Roma is also six points behind Atalanta at the moment although it would also be great if Atalanta could get the top three or four positions at the end of this season.

What you are saying is true that Atlanta are now in the Champions League zone and Torino will probably be a difficult game for them, but in terms of quality and also team performance of course Atlanta are favourites in that game and I think they will be able to win over Torino, so far Atlanta have high motivation to be able to get points in their remaining games and of course secure a position from the chase of Roma to be Atlanta main target at the moment besides the Europa League final, in head to head, of course Atlanta is superior to Torino, but seeing Torino ability to destroy Milan yesterday, of course Atlanta must be wary of Torino in the game later.


Currently Atlanta is safe in the Champions League zone but that does not mean Atlanta is no longer chasing points in the match later, because after all Roma still has the opportunity to shift Atlanta in 5th place if Roma wins the remaining two matches and also has a better goal difference than Atlanta, so I think with all the possibilities that can happen Atlanta should be able to get at least 1 point in the match later,  So that way Atlanta can be quite safe in 5th position without the possibility of being equalized on points by Roma at the end of the season.

Sassuolo vs Cagliari

Both teams have same target because they want to collect 3 points from this match and avoiding relegation zone but indeed Sassuolo chances compared to Cagliari is really hard because although if they win from this match Sassuolo position is still not safe but for Cagliari if they can overcomes Sassuolo today they will collect 36 points and most likely they will be survive at Serie A and Sassuolo has poor records because from 17 matches Sassuolo only can able to get 1 win and this makes their position currently at 19th place

Cagliari conditions a bit better compared to Sassuolo because from 6 latest matches Cagliari only lost twice but indeed their latest result is not really good because Cagliari was lost from Milan with big scores 5-1 and for this match Sassulo status as the favourite but i didn't believe they can able to overcomes Cagliari today because just like i said above Sassuolo has displayed poor performance and i might be considering to pick draw result from this match because seems the recent performance from both teams is not so different and the odds for draw is quite high to bets @3.40 or other option just like both teams to scores also good pick

[Roseline492]

I didn't say that Atalanta has qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League; what I said was that the win Atalanta had against Lecce has given them hope of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League because Juventus is leading them by one point and there are two remaining matches for the Serie A season to end.

Even if you had mentioned that Atalanta has qualified for the champions League next season you are still right because with the improvement Atalanta has on this season has already landed them into champions league next season and also one good thing about their current position now is that they don't have much competitors against them because they have 6 points above their below teams especially Roma and there is no way Roma will come close to them in terms of there points considering the fact that they have just few matches to the end of the season.

So perhaps even if Juventus has one point above Atalanta it shouldn't be a big deal because what matters is the ability of qualifying to the champions League league next season and already Atalanta has been able to achieve that, so perhaps what they should be looking at now is how to improve there performance next season in other to go far on the champions League.

[W Jr.]

Atalanta's win against Lecce has given them hope to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League competition. Juventus is yet to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions Competition, and if Juventus fails to win their two remaining matches in the league, they might not qualify for next season's UEFA Champions Competition because they are leading Atalanta by one point. It will be a shame if Juventus doesn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League competition next season because they were once a Serie A title contender this season.

Atlanta is yet to qualify they still need to win the games they have ahead of them, if Juventus who's ahead of them isn't qualified yet, where then did they get their qualifications from, it's practically not possible to qualify ahead of another team that's point ahead of you and even ahead of you by a position on the table , I'm not disputing their chances but the certainty isn't clear yet at this point until the season probably ends.

Levee isn't a tough team to even start with so the victory doe me was expected a s isn't feeling like a big deal to me as I wasn't expecting any less from them, not after they have been able to show up the kind of performance they have been showing in the Europa since this season, where I will be really surprised at Atlanta performance will be with the Europa finals. Juventus will try all within their strength because they were almost close to getting the qualifications earlier before now, I'm sure they wouldn't want to loose it at this time when they very close to getting it.

A draw in their last two game can help them if only Atlanta aswell gets to loose and draw aswell but if they do any away from that then they can be sure to not play in the Champions League next season and it will actually mean bad to the. Because they were a team that started off so well it became really difficult to think they wouldn't be able to at least qualify for the Champions League as that was one of their least worries then.

I didn't say that Atalanta has qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League; what I said was that the win Atalanta had against Lecce has given them hope of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League because Juventus is leading them by one point and there are two remaining matches for the Serie A season to end. For a long time, Juventus has been struggling to win their matches in the Serie A, which has put them in this condition, and if they continue with such performances, Atalanta might overtake them in the Serie A table. Juventus next match is against Bologna, and they might likely drop points against Bologna, which will give Atalanta an advantage to enter the top four of the Serie A table if they win their match in Serie A.

Next year, 5 teams from Italy will go to the UCL and Atalanta is still one of these five teams. Finishing fourth will not give them any extra profit. The point gap with Roma is not easily closed, so we can say that Atalanta will be in the UCL next year, of course, if they can fully qualify. They were upset after the final they lost to Juventus, but they are still pushing for the top positions in the rankings by winning 3 points in Lecce.

With Serie A having a share of five clubs that will play in the Champions League next season, Atalanta will certainly play in the competition, because the difference of six points from Roma who are in sixth position is difficult to match, even though Atalanta will probably still be ahead in goal difference, so Atalanta has already qualified for the Champions League and Roma has lost the opportunity to play in the Champions League, so Atalanta's victory over Lecce not only opens up their opportunities but they have indeed got that place.
However, if I judge their performance against Lecce, it was not an impressive performance so I doubt they will be a competitive team in the Champions League unless they make some changes to their squad.

Yes you are right Atalanta has almost certainly made it into Champions League next season since they are six points ahead of Roma with only few games left. Beating Lecce recently made it even more likely they will get in which is great for  team. However I do not think they played well in that game and if they want to do well in Champions League they need to get better players and play better overall. Just getting into competition is not enough they need to be able to compete with best teams in Europe and right now it is not clear they can do that.

Lecce failed to beat Atalanta at home.After a goalless first half, Lecce scored early in the second half to win the game and increase their points tally to 66 and put themselves in a more comfortable position.With 2 weeks to go, Roma's chances of catching them have diminished.
Torino, on the other hand, defeated Milan 3-1.Torino played a good game and it was a good development for them to win.They managed to increase the difference to 3 with the goals scored by Zapata and Ilic in the first half and Rodriguez right at the beginning of the second half.Although Milan reduced the difference to 2 with Bennacer after the 3rd goal, there were no more goals in the match after this minute.

Atalanta's victory last night over host Lecce made Atalanta more comfortable in 5th position, and almost certainly will win the Champion ticket next season, with Atalanta's 0-2 win making Lecce have to be satisfied with defeat at home, fighting for the Champion ticket in Serie A Italy, It feels like it's finished even though AS Roma is still chasing, but Atalanta's current performance is very good, it is difficult for Roma to win tickets from Atalantan.

Last night's match was quite interesting Torino managed to win over visiting AC Milan Torino played very well in the first half. Many of the attacks they created were quite troublesome for AC Milan's defense, until the first half they were 2-0 ahead over visiting AC Milan, and at the start of the second half they managed to increase the goal to 3-0 and AC Milan was only able to break through Torino's goal only once until the final whistle, the score was 3-1 for Torino, and the satisfactory result means Torino can catch Fiorentina to compete in the Europa Conference League next season.

Atalanta has won five times in a row and of course that strengthens its position in 5th place. It is certain that As Roma will have difficulty getting rid of them and getting a UCL ticket, As Roma only needs Atalanta to make a mistake so that As Roma can get rid of them in 5th position, I know it is a tough job for Atalanta, especially since they have to prepare themselves to face Leverkusen in the UEL final which is clear that Atalanta also wants to win the UEL title this season.

Atalanta may be slightly underestimated by Leverkusen supporters but Xabi Alonso certainly knows that underestimating Atalanta is not a good thing, because all this time Leverkusen have never underestimated the strength of their opponents and have always won by a landslide even when facing lower level teams, they have never had compassion for their opponents so Therefore, Atalanta must be careful when facing Leverkusen, because Leverkusen's desire is very big to win three titles this season, treble winner, Bundesliga, UEL and DFB cup because for them they want to make new history apart from being a team that has never lost, Atalanta must prepare themselves. for the UEL final later.

They should not only sign new and good players, they should keep good players like Scamacca this year. At the end of the year, Atalanta lost the Italian Cup final, but they still have a chance of winning the UEL cup. By defeating Liverpool, Atalanta will perhaps give Leverkusen their first defeat of the year. Bayer Leverkusen had a great season this year. In one word, they left behind a dream year. Atalanta can end this dream. Maybe they will only get one defeat and it will be this final, who knows?

Head-to-head stats indicated Atalanta expected a win over Lecce. Though it wasn't an impressive performance, goals from Charles De Ketelaere and Gianluca Scamacca were enough to give Atalanta a victory away to Lecce. Following this win, Atalanta confirms Champions League football next season after a three-year of absence. They will be on the big stage next season, so hopefully, they will make some changes which actually required to get positive results.
For now, they head off to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final. Hopefully, Atalanta will end Leverkusen's winning streak and win the Europa League final.

Atalanta will now be counted among the strongest team in Italy this season due to their over seriousness this season which gave them a ticket to the champions league next season. They came from behind and took over the 5th position from Roma, which means that Roma will continue playing in Europa until they struggle to finish among top five.

This season is a very interesting one as we see the performance of different clubs as surprises and it made the season great.

[rendravolt]

Cagliari successfully won the crucial match against Sassuolo and with the additional full points they moved away from the relegation zone. The goals scored by Prati and Lapadula in the second half allowed Cagliari to breathe a sigh of relief when they visited Sassuolo's headquarters and this was their first win in the last 5 matches.

On the other hand, this defeat means that Sassuolo has no chance of surviving the red zone and it looks like they will have to go down to Serie B for next season. A difference of 5 points from Udinese with 1 match remaining will not be enough to save them from relegation.

This victory is quite important for Cagliari, now they are safe enough not to be relegated this season and on the other hand there is no longer a possibility for Sassuolo, they will definitely be relegated this season.
I think Cagliari's victory at home to Sassuolo is quite natural because Cagliari played much better in this match, with great motivation they were able to produce their best performance so that Sassuolo seemed to have no room to penetrate Cagliari's defense.

I watched this match but unfortunately my bet lost, I bet on Sassuolo winning, I thought those who played at home would be able to play more persistently but in fact they didn't.
